"The pain of life is great/And some will find it sweet/To rot beneath the earth/As we rot and live an breathe" -- Will Shatter.
Awake at 4 a.m., I had trouble going back to sleep. I admit to not thinking about anything but how disappointed I am by life right now. I did a little crying, then fell back asleep. Why is doing what I want to do so hard? Am I afraid to fail? Of course. But that is only one small part of the story. If I could get my ego out of the way I could just forge ahead without reservation. So be it.

Hello Verna!
I have been following your blog here and wanted to say hi! I have been excited about your Flipper book since your first post. I have read many books on punk & hardcore. In these books, Flipper casts a mighty shadow (super influential, intimidating, powerful personalities/performers), but they're never given much in-depth treatment. Your book will finally give them the attention they deserve. I was first exposed to Flipper about a year before Will died. I've been a huge fan ever since. I find their music beautiful, funny, painful and sublime (often all at once). My love of Flipper is a solitary love. My family & friends can handle less than 30 seconds of Flipper. I was so happy to stumble upon your blog & follow your progress on the book. I am optimistic about your book. I think that the sources and contacts you've discussed will help you bring the full story of Flipper to light. Please don't lose heart, and let me know if there's anything I can do (I have an English degree, if you need anything proofread... that's about all I've got).
You can do this, Verna. It will be great!
Thank you (from a fan in Ohio),
Mike
